Need I say more?
It's already here, together with the service.

Phono SDK Makes Call From Your Web Browser
Phono provides an SDK to make calls from your web browser. To be more specific, they provide a javascript library that is easy to integrate into a web development.
It is now using flash technology (for mic), but WebRTC is coming soon (as they claimed).
Phono is not the only library that does voice call from a web browser. Twilio Client is another one.

The Weather API
Wunderground provides a wonderful weather API.
They have a simple API request for all the different "feature" such as current conditions, forecast, history, hourly, etc..
http://api.wunderground.com/api/KEY/FEATURE/[FEATURE…]/q/QUERY.FORMAT
But it is not a really free API. Free use is limited to 500 calls a day, and 10 per min.

PubNub: Real time push made easy
PubNub is a product for developers to implement real time push notifications easy.
You might have been doing real time messaging for a long time and wonder what's with PubNub? Yup, if you don't use PubNub, you can still do real time messaging be using XMPP or jabber technology.
However, with PubNub, you can do away with setting up your XMPP server and worry about max connection per thread etc.. PubNub makes it easy to use for your server and client side.
Like all cloud service, this comes with a fee. It is free if you send 1 million messages per month (similar to UrbanAirship/Xtify). Otherwise, pay $15 per month and additional $1 for each 1 million messages.

Embed Chat Client Into Your iPhone App
Mobile app developers love to engage their users.
If you are one of them, and looking for a chat client SDK that can be used to embed into your mobile app, then you have to check out QuickBlox. The service is not free.
An alternative is Airgram, which offer a standalone app to engage your mobile users.

Xtify is like Urban Airship
Xtify is another webservice for Push Notifications. Similar to Urban Airship, but Xtify seems to position themselves more than just that.
Xtify provides their portal with more control and rules to send out (automated) push notifications. Their slogan is "Mobile Customer Engagement", not just push.
However, sometimes all you want is a simple web service for Push, that is where Urban Airship is more suitable.
The pricing structure for both are fairly similar.

Standard for SMS/Network API
GSMA does have a mandate on how network APIs should be designed.
For example, this is what they mandated for SMS Restful API.
AFAIK, Simplified does follow the "rules". But does it do any good?
